Cracked one of my 6 year old track wheels early this spring, Big thumbs up to the service from Forgeline and Steve S.

Concern, care, rapid response & turnaround and reasonable price

Can't say enough good things about Jim, Dave, Steve and their business. They're real racers and know how to take care of racers.

I am also a fan. Had three sets for my 2010 RS and now a set of 19's on my 2016 RS which with Hoosier R7's transforms the car. Note if using the 265 fronts tires you have to turn off the nannies else the system freaks out since the rolling diameter is outside Porsche specs. With 235s in front the nannies work.

On my 4th set of forgelines. Awesome service from Steve. You're not going to find a better/safer product for less.

I don't understand why anyone looks further when shopping beyond forgeline and bbs. There are too many horror stories on rennlist of companies like Race Tech Forged selling fake products for premium prices.

Wheels are a safety device.

There are others selling excellent/safe/light race wheels, I used CCW for many years and never had an issue.

I had a problem with the forgelines in the early days.. even then, they saw the issue, i sent the rims back and they repaired free of charge. I think it might have been "steve " too! never had a problem again with the wheels...... those were an old single piece versions.... ive heard great things about newer versions of the 3 piece wheels. rock solid design which i will definitely buy next time around .

Because there are more than two companies that make quality wheels. The Bogart wheels I use on my race car are as good as BBS or Forgeline and cost half as much. I am sure there are other examples.

and most of the time, when it comes to modular wheels , they share the same inners and outers. the centers become the secret sauce.

I'm sure you didn't go take a leap of faith with them without advice from someone who had the experience with the brand on track. There are a lot of other fantastic wheels as you say, my point was that for someone who does not know any better, buy from a reputable brand that has product in a pro racing series.

I have forgeline wheels on my car and I was really impressed with how they handled the repair of a cracked rear wheel. I put one wheel off at a track event. I bought the wheels used and they still repaired both rear wheels at their cost covering return shipping and gave me an extension of their standard warranty.
